Last year we cleaned out our pond a bit, so we have piles of sandy pond "soil". Is it ok to mix it into planting holes (in this case for juniperus/juniperi) where the soil is somewhat clayey, or will this result in brick? I would also add soil conditioner and some compost. I also have a pile of top soil that came off an area that had been wooded. Should I use that instead and if so, why?
Also, can I use either one to make a mix for containers?
Thank you for your good ideas!!
